Talent (talent or talent) is a natural disposition or quality, which is the material basis for the construction of acquired intelligence.Genius is based on a certain talent, through subjective effort and social practice, the formation of outstanding imagination, inspiration and creativity.In addition, genius is often used to refer to people with exceptional imagination, inspiration, and creativity.The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said: "A gifted man can shoot at a target that others cannot, and a genius (or genius) can shoot at a target that others cannot see."In other words, genius has the vision and imagination that ordinary people do not have.Below, based on my observations and understanding, I will talk about the characteristics of talent and genius, their realization, and their application in scientific research and innovation.
Characteristics of talent and genius.As a natural or quality, talent brings the potential and accomplishment to learn or master a particular skill/technology (e.g., art, music, sports, literature, science, leadership).Some people have beautiful voice, highlighting the potential of singers; others have flexible fingers and quickly learn piano, violin, erhu or other instruments; others are agile and good at various sports.Talent expresses expectations and expectations that a person may master a particular skill/technology in the future.The realization of talent benefits from professional spotting and the necessary training.After being pointed out by high-ranking people, gifted people are good executives who can do things that many people can't.
In my opinion, the talent that is closely related to research and innovation (and literary creation) is mainly reflected in two aspects: intelligence (learning potential) and quiet personality.Intelligence (learning potential) is the combined ability to recognize, understand, think, judge, and express, including observation, curiosity (seeking/exploring), memory, and thinking (imagination).Observation forms the basis of knowledge acquisition, curiosity (seeking/exploration) drives understanding of the unknown, memory ensures storage of what has been learned, and thinking (imagination) expands the boundaries of existing knowledge through deduction and induction.Among them, memory and thinking (imagination) are especially important: only super-memory can quickly, accurately and firmly remember learned knowledge; only remembered knowledge can be recalled when needed; only remembered knowledge can be useful.Only agile, deep and original thinking (imagination) can quickly simplify and creatively expand existing knowledge.The quiet personality manifests itself as quiet, easygoing, patient, gentle, persistent, and destructive.People with a quiet personality can withstand the loneliness of studying hard in the cold window and withstand the pressure of overcoming difficulties.On the other hand, impulsive personality manifests itself as impetuous, rough, mobile, bossy, short attention span, and destructive.People with impulsive personality dare to say, dare to think, dare to do, but in the face of loneliness and pressure, often lack endurance, often die and retreat.In fact, a person's quiet or impulsive personality can be distinguished from an early age.Generally speaking, quiet young children look relieved, rarely a moth comes out; any book can be read over and over again, and no damage can be done; any children's song can be sung over and over again.Most impulsive young children are difficult to look after, and if they don't pay attention, they can lose interest in a book, turn it over and over again, and then damage it or cause unexpected trouble; teach a children's song and sing it a few times.
It is worth mentioning that quietness and impulses belong to the representative characteristics of introvert and extrovert introduced by psychologist Carl Gustav Jung in 1910.Introverts are quiet, low-key, cautious, thoughtful, attentive, steady, modest, enjoying reading, writing or meditation. They like to interact one-on-one or a small range of interactions.The psychologist Edmund S. Conklin. In 1923, Dr. Conklin noticed an intermediate personality (ambert) with both introverted and extroverted traits.Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi further observed that creative people often have both introverted and extroverted traits: energetic and quiet, intelligent and naive, playful and disciplined, realistic and imaginative, conservative and rebellious.Studies show that Western society is generally extroverted, of which ~70% have extroverted personality, while ~30% have introverted personality, of which ~70% have introverted personality, and ~30% have extroverted personality.Extroverted societies reward extroverted behavior and reject introverted behavior.Therefore, extroverts (including Indians) feel happy and comfortable in an extrovert society, such as fish getting water, while introverts experience difficulties in integration and lack a sense of belonging in an extrovert society.
Genius is the outstanding imagination, inspiration, and creativity that results from the realization of talent (or talents) through subjective effort and social practice.Genius is a creator with extraordinary intelligence, with his own ideas, who can not only achieve tangible goals, but also see intangible goals, and do things that others can't think of.Specifically, the external characteristics of genius can be summarized into six points: (1) sustainable creative thinking (small endurance of ordinary people, easy to be interrupted by irrelevant thoughts); (2) strong concentration and anti-interference; (3) extraordinary memory, comprehension and generalization.In a word, genius is still like a child, and movement is like a rabbit.
Most (comprehensive, non-partially flawed) geniuses exhibit thrift, prudence, humor, fraternity, health, exceptional memory, reasoning judgment, and creativity.However, a few talented artists, mathematicians, and scientists appear to be intimately related to neurosis, psychosis (such as autism), or some of their close relatives show mental or social deficiencies.The reason is that the brain has two different parts, the right brain is the source of creativity, and the left brain is the center of logic and language.In childhood, some people with autism have lower-than-average levels of serotonin in their left brain, causing abnormal development in the area; in return, their right brain increases activity and creates new connections that didn't exist before.
talent and genius.Humans are a highly evolved species of intelligence, born with the potential to learn and other gifts, including observation, curiosity (seeking/exploring), memory, and thinking (imagination).The development of human potential and the realization of talent are mainly determined by two factors, one is the professional guidance and necessary training in the critical period, and the other is the characteristics of personality.For scientific research and innovation (and literary creation), while observation and curiosity (seeking/exploring) are indispensable, memory and thinking (imagination) are essential.A person with a good memory and a lack of thinking (imagination) can only be considered a scientist (or an available talent for scientific research and innovation) who is not fully talented enough to meet the challenges of scientific research and innovation.
The rapid increase in the number of synapses (twice as many as adults at 2-3 years of age) leads to significant expansion of neuronal volume (doubling in size at 1 year of age and reaching 80% of adult volume at 3 years of age).During the rapid construction of neural networks, neurons exhibit tremendous plasticity.As the age increases, neural network construction slows down and neuronal plasticity decreases; however, logical reasoning and synthesis capabilities improve significantly.
